When Beauty Is Synonymous With Pain

Strangers To Friends To Lovers To Friends To Strangers

3/15/2021

We did nothing
So why do I feel violated?

I'm entering my
Nightmare phase.

I can't look at you
Without getting anxiety
I can't think about you
Without feeling fury.

You didn't hurt me-
Not necessarily
But boundaries were crossed
And I didn't realize they had been
At the time
Because I'd forced myself
To compromise.

These feelings, I despise.
You think I hate you
I don't
But we need to go back
To being strangers again.
